Sewinfla Side Window Air Draft Device
The Sewinfla side window draft device is designed for indoor use with Sewinfla and TKLoop paint booths. It helps move fumes from the booth to the outdoors, mitigating buildup caused by high indoor air pressure. Note that this device does not include an exhaust fan or flexible duct and requires a compatible 12-inch explosion-proof exhaust fan with PVC ducting. An order proof may be requested to ensure brand compatibility. This product is exclusive to Sewinfla and TKLoop booths.
wioboy Intake Filter Pad, 25″ x 20″
Designed to provide an economical and effective cross-draft intake filtration solution, this pad features a self-sealing gasket and an internal wire frame to prevent bypass and flutter. It uses two layers of 100% polyester media to capture particulates and maintain airflow quality in indoor spray booths.
HITON Exhaust Filter Pad 20″ x 20″
This 100-pack exhaust filter pad provides all-purpose media suitable for finer particulate capture in cross-draft and down-draft spray exhaust systems. The pads are designed to balance cost with filtration performance for larger projects or higher-volume booths.
HITON Tacky Intake Filter Pad 20″ x 20″
Series 55 intake filter pad uses a self-sealing gasket and internal wire frame to minimize bypass while providing a dry tackifier to capture dirt. It offers an economical balance of price and performance for cross-draft intake filtration in spray booths.
wioboy Intake Filter Pad, 20″ x 24″
This 20″ x 24″ intake pad provides a practical cross-draft filtration option with a self-sealing gasket and internal wire frame to prevent bypass. The two layers of 100% polyester media help capture dust and overspray while maintaining airflow efficiency.
MSfilter Fiberglass Paint Arrestor Roll
This fiberglass arrestor roll provides extended filtration for spray booth floors, with a 300 ft length. It is suitable for cross-draft and down-draft exhaust systems, offering granular capture for improved air quality and easier maintenance.
Buying Guide: Cross Draft Paint Booth Accessories
Key considerations when choosing cross-draft booth components include filtration efficiency, airflow impact, compatibility with your booth model, and maintenance needs. Filtration media (polyester vs. fiberglass) affects dirt capture and suction resistance; ensure the media matches your spray booth’s exhaust capacity. Intake filters should seal tightly to prevent bypass; look for gaskets and internal wire frames. For exhaust filtration, high-capacity pads help protect fans and ducting while prolonging filter life. Tacky intake pads are useful for dirt retention but must be compatible with your booth’s airflow rates. Always verify brand compatibility when using exclusive accessories with specific booth models.
Performance perspectives vary:
– Economic options offer good value for smaller shops but may require more frequent replacement.
– High-capacity exhaust pads improve air cleanliness in busy finishing rooms, potentially reducing odor and overspray residue.
– Long, wide-format intake pads provide fewer seam points and easier maintenance for larger booths.
– Dry tackifier intake pads help hold dirt at the source, reducing booth contamination at the exhaust end.
– Specialist components from the same family (brand-specific devices) can ensure optimal airflow and safe operation, especially in setups with brand-specific booths.
